Book of the year/month/eternity/your whole life.....ever

from amazon al rights reserved!

OMG gok wan is the collest person ever. If you dont agree i think you should turn around, there shall be no gok wan haters on this blog EVER. OK so the book i have chosen is Gok Wan's autobiography "Through thick and thin" its an amazing book. Its so sosos worth it, he wrote it and you really feel liek you know him and what hes been through once you have read it. It is called through thick and thin because he was obese then annorexic which is sever sad times. because he is PERFECT but we shall not go into that.

Reasons why i lvoe Gok Wan:

• He helps so many people
• Hes been through so much to be where he is
• Hes living the dream
• Hes living my dream
• He is amazing at fashion
• He is my idol
• He is fricking awesome and jsut looks so cool
• He has funny names for everything including himself, my faves are "auntie Gok", "Fairy gok mother", "Bangers"
• He is genuine
• He writes books which are fabdidddleytastic.  (that made my spell checker go crazy not that i use it anyway as you can tell... i only found i had one like yesterday  meh who needs one anyway you guys understand me right?) RIGHT?
• He has his own glasses range
• He helps kids
• He has cool tv shows
• He designes clothes
• He can draw

Ok the glasses thing brings me to my next point. GOK WAN HAS HIS OWN GLASSES RANGE AT SPECSAVERS!!!!!!!!! did you know that? if so why did you not tell me? it is like my life ambition to meet gok wan (and hug him of course) and wearing his glasses would bring me one crucial step closer. No i am not a stalker...... as such. But yh i saw them and went crazy 9 more so than usual) they are amazing i want them but they cost £100 so i dont see that happening any time soon. Anyhoo but they show his typical style like the big frames and funky styles and ahhh focus pixie!

 No but if you go on the specsavers website you can try them on! oh my days total cool-german- i know girl of many talents. As you can see right. Alright i know i look ridiculous but in my defence this is a very old photo and i look ridiculous wearing and doing most things so...... but try it es ist total cool. again some more german for you there woop. 

OK the book
Seriously i learnt so much from reading this like he was kicked out of school and that he originally wanted to be an actor. He turned to working at a beauty counter with no experience as a last result and worked form there. He managed to blag his way to the top doing portfolios and telling all sorts of fibs lol. He is known for his sensitvity and that really shines through. It gives even more depth to his personality if you get me? you learn how and why he ened up where he is with the attitude that he is. It is amazing.

Where
You can buy his book on amazon for a great price, it is also available in all good book shops such as WH'S and Waterstones. I am madly in love with it.

The o'natural beauty look

This o'natural look was featured in the Greena constantine show. It was inspired by winter, you know what im talking about-red faces, flushed, excited. Its supposed to be natural. Later on in the post i will show you how to get this look. By show i mean tell. The products used are mac and i got the information from the site below.Photography by : Jenna Marie Wakani
and picture from http://www.fashionmagazine.com/ so all rights reserved. Check out the webiste its a good one.
I think it gives a pure appearance to the face, delciate beauty.
Eyes
Although this model is wearing quite a reddy eyeshadow do not be worried about "not being able to pull it off" red eye shadow is extremley hard. Rather than going for a solid red go for a close alternative like rust, dark orange or a neutral pastel. It will give the same effect xxx This particular model is wearing:

• M.A.C eye shadow in "coral"
• M.A.C eye shadow in "orange"
• M.A.C eye shadow "sushi flower"
• M.A.C mineralize skin.

Lashes are left bare to again give it that soft, "fleshy", natural look.

Hair
The hair has been tyed into a low pigtail to give a "bob" appearance from the front. It is tucked under and then a scarf has been wrapped around to make it look like the models are wearing lots of layers. Really capturing the winter essence of bundling up and getting cosy.

Nails

• Filed into a soft almond shape
• Black nail varnish
• Top coat of see-through nail varnish

The black has been blended so that it fades up the nail. It starts as a dark black at the cuticles and then turns to see-through/soft white at the tip of the nail. This was intended to give the nail " a flowy look" to match the outfits.

Just a short post to fill you in. So have a look around, if you find out anything else please comment. Thats all xxx oh and p.s please pray ro give money or do anything you can to help the people in japan., Thankyou
